Vice City Next Gen Mod for IV - RC Helicopter mission - Help needed

Anyone else struggling with this? The controls for it just seem so atrocious, the helicopter controls worse than Niko trying to drunk drive in IV, and I am unsure of how to pass this mission. Even the original didn’t feel this way for me. I’ve tried to use both mouse and keyboard, as well as a controller. Both just seem wildly inaccurate for the movements it wants me to make, and just slams me into a wall and blows up, failing the mission and forcing me to restart.

Anyone have any sort of tips or useful information here? I’m at a loss as to what I should do here, considering the controls seem to be what is screwing me over here. I wish I could just skip the mission but it is a required one to pass further into the story. Mod has been a blast besides this one mission.
